Sarah is not a big lover of commercial cereals (apart from the chocolatey variety!) so she decided to make her own. She adapted a recipe that she found at Whole Living, adding in her favourite nuts (macadamias, almonds), seeds (sesame seeds), spices (cinnamon, ginger), and sweeteners (maple syrup and honey).
It looks and smells delicious!
It got me to thinking that we could package some of it up to give at Christmas time. Who wouldn’t love some healthy cereal to start the New Year with after the excesses of the festive season? I think I will look out for some big jars on my next trip to Ikea.
In fact, we love giving gifts in jars as you can see from some of our past posts …..
It is fun to look back on old blog posts! I must say my photography and styling has definitely improved:)
mmm that sounds delicious xxxx anyone would be thrilled with it as a gift, what a fantastic idea. xxx
That’s a great idea! I think I will be making some eatable Christmas presents with the kids!
awesome gift idea,..;-)
thank you for giving me some ideas for christmas presents for the teachers at school – the christmas biscuit mix is ideal 🙂
Most clever! I remember your jars from last year – even saved the page to my favorite places for future inspiration! ~karen
Lisa, dear, always a fabulous SHOW I can watch here!!! Claps!!!!! I LOVE your work!!!! Thanks for showing us so bright and wonderful art!!! Love! Bela.
I gave the Christmas biscuits to my bosses children last Christmas and she said the kids loved them. Great gift idea Lisa.
I love looking back at photos that I thought were fantastic at the time and realising how much better my photography skills are now too. I also love your collection of beautiful things in jars photos!
Lovely! Always makes a great gift. In fact, I have a Gift in a Jar recipe book from Gooseberry Patch that I must get out and put to use. Have a great day! 🙂 Tammy
that cereal looks delish! I love the additions Sara added. I would love to try some gifts in a jar this holiday season, so your ideas are very inspiring. Your tags and packaging really make these even more special!
Sarah’s cereal is more tasty than the packaged! Good for her! Homemade Granola is the best. One of my younger son’s mailed b’day gifts sometimes includes Mom’s Granola. 🙂
I really like your Easter Jar, too.
I love doing jar gifts! And isn’t it fun to look back on old blog posts — I think we’ve all learned a lot from the early days!
That jar looks so good! You both are so talented, thaks for the lovely ideas.
You and Sarah are so talented. Your blog is a real inspiration. I am not the baking and cooking kind but seeing what you do makes me try things sometimes. Thank you so much.

Such sweet ideas, Lisa… most anything works in a jar and is sooo good! ;o) And I think your styling has always been great. But it is fun to look back. I was looking for an old post recently at my place–wow… such humble beginnings, that’s all I’ll say… LOL! Happy Days to you all there :o) ((HUGS))
Your photography is great and your packaging always amazing! Hope the cereal tastes as good as it looks.
Definitely a great Christmas gift
I love your wonderful ideas!!!
I saw your advent houses, made them and now i show them on my blog and link to you. I hope it’s okey.
